Oolongs on the green side are my usual go-to or Chinese greens.
Black mint tea
I enjoy anise-fennel-caraway tea. It doesn't taste as watery as many of the fruit-based teas and not as bitter as black tea and such. I find, it's also decent at clearing out my throat.
Peppermint tea is second place for me, for very much the same reasons. 🙃
Ooooo, I do like me some peppermint tea. I find it to be awfully seasonal, though.
Artichoke is the ultimate choice without a morsel of doubt. Any other answer is wrong because of that.
Celestial Seasoning Bengal Spice
I also really enjoy this one. However, it contains no tea leaves so not a 'true' tea. 'Tisane' or 'herbal infusion' are the more precise terms.
Assam probably.
Spice tea :3
Call me basic but jasmine green tea is up there
I've tried a great many different black and green teas, but my favorite is Constant Comment. I realize that makes me a barbarian low-life, but I genuinely enjoy the flavor.
Masala chai, came to like it after few visits in India.
Sencha
Coffee is my favorite tea. 😆
Sadly, just can't stand the stuff anymore. Grew up having sweetened iced tea for dinner every night. My wife always keeps different varieties on hand and I've occasionally tried different combinations of hot and sweet and milky. For my money, nothing touches a cup of joe. Give it to me black and bitter, like Dick Cheney's original heart.
I'm similar in that I like black coffee. There's a nice rabbit hole for people like us in speciality coffees too, so we don't need to feel too left out!
What's your favorite? I really like The Reanimator from justcoffee.coop. ❤️
I've dabbled with Death Wish but I'm not as young as I used to be. Afraid it'll make my heart pop. 😆
Early Grey man myself but there is a Hawaiian Cocktail tea that has dried pineapple and other tropical fruits that is absolutely exquisite. I’m not usually a fruit tea person as I love bitters. Wish I knew who made it but we’ve had it for quite some time and I don’t.
Black tea with some lemon and sugar.
This is how we drank tea in communist Poland when I was a child and I tried so many teas in Japan with the nice ceremony, Chinese green tea, american peach ice tea, English tea with milk, etc. But nothing comes close.
Milky oolong. It has just the right amount of sweetness and just evokes feelings of coziness for me. Sometimes I add a little bit of jasmine as well.
Sencha Fukujyu. Loose leaf green tea with no added stuff. 70 degrees. Reuse leafs throughout the day. Brewed in a kettle that allows proper expansion of leafs.
Irish black with a splash of cream in the morning. Peppermint tea after the stars are out
Sleepy Time extra strength. Valerian root, take me away.
Sweet Tea. The Southern US kind, black tea brewed with more and more sugar until, ideally, it’s actually a supersaturated solution. Then served cold over ice. Literal diabetes juice.
I don’t have it often, but it’s the best tea in the world because, on the whole, tea is garbage water.
Fight me. 😂
Impra Gold orange peoke. Get the loose-leaf kind that comes in a metal container.
But one time, I was dragged into helping a guy I didn't know move a couch up stairs. Afterwards his wife (they were an Indian couple) made me some chai tea that was the best thing I ever drank in my life. I would happily carry another couch for one more cup. I was a fool and didn't ask what that tea was, and since then I have tried different chai teas (including when I went to India) and I never even found one I liked at all.
Pu-erh for me.
Lapsang Souchong (smoked black tea).
Cardamom!
Oh shit! That's a thing? Is it just cardamom steeped in hot water or is it more of a spice/tea blend like black tea and cardamom?
This is absolutely a thing and here's the brand I usually get: https://ahmadteausa.com/products/cardamom?variant=31938705457227
It's a spice & tea mixture.
Cheapest store brand orange pekoe black tea
First flush, estate, Darjeeling. Done with the proper temp water in traditional tea pot.
If you have to add flavor to the the tea leaves, looking at you Earl Grey, then it is most likely a crap quality tea.
Please try August Uncommon Teas. August.la is the link. I raved about them to a friend who honestly became annoyed with me going on about them. Then, tried them. She called me and was like, "Oh, shit. Nico was right."
Hot
Cold
Black tea with almond milk and honey.
Drinking EG with a splash of milk right now.
My favs:
PG Tips :-D
I know everyone goes on about Yorkshire Tea and sure I like it too, but I've been drinking PG Tips several times a day for my entire life, and I love it.
Proper tea that keeps England going!
My daily driver is Lipton Orange Pekoe. It's fantastic and priced right for what it is. My rainy day sipping tea is a Taiwanese Fujian black tea.
